在3个实验中，老鼠必须找到一个位于风筝形状的水池角落里的水下平台。创建这个角落的墙壁的颜色为在形状+颜色条件下而不是在仅形状条件下找到平台提供了额外的线索。在具有统一颜色但没有平台的池中的测试期间，在形状+颜色的训练后，比在仅形状的条件下，在平台最初位于的角落中花费更多的时间。这些结果挑战了一些理论，这些理论认为，要么是对环境形状的学习发生在一个专门的模块中，要么是线索争夺对行为的控制。
In 3 experiments rats had to find a submerged platform that was located in a corner of a kite-shaped pool. The color of the walls creating this corner provided an additional cue for finding the platform in the shape + color condition but not the shape-only condition. During tests in a pool with walls of a uniform color but no platform, more time was spent in the corner where the platform was originally located after training in the shape + color than in the shape-only condition. The results challenge theories that assume either that learning about the shape of the environment takes place in a dedicated module or that cues compete for the control they acquire over behavior.
